My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

Quixtar Amway tools video

To pay homage to the Amway warriors currently get sore asses at the Puryear Family Reunion here is the real reason why your upline wants you to attend all Amway WWDB functions.

Hi Anna: I ran across something you should be interested in and may want to post on your blog. As we know, there is the Amway-Kiosaki connection, where a book of the month was Kiosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad". Another book that Kiosaki co-authored was "Why we want you to be rich." Also, Kiosaki's "Cash flow quandrant" was used at Open Meetings for new Amway recruits to lend credibility to the Amway Opportunity and make it sound like a business.The Better Business Bureau has received numerous complaints from those who have attended Kiosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad Seminars" that have recently been held around the country. These people have lost tens of thousands of dollars from these seminars, due to policies set forth by Kiosaki's Company. One specified in the news report aired by KSDK, Channel 5, St. Louis pertains to the 3 day money back option, or the 3 day cooling off period that is standard business practice.

David - I've never read "Rich Dad Poor Dad". We used to have it on the bookshelf - undoubtedly Ambot snapped it up on one of his tools purchases - but I don't know if we still have it. I managed to sell 2 lots of Amway required reading last year. 10 books for $10 each. So $20 back on what - a $200 Amway investment! I don't recall the upline using a cash flow quadrant at the board plan meetings. Not saying they didn't. I usually zoned out so whether or not it was part of the "teaching" I don't remember.

We did attend one of those intro seminars for Kiosaki investing run by one of his flunkies. Mostly they were trying to sign people up for a 2 day seminar cost $300? $500? We didn't sign up. I did win a free book while I was there but not written by Kiosaki though I think he might have signed it. Don't know what happened to that book either.

I've read most of the rich dad poor dad from the local library. Bunch stories about him growing up and bs he made up(which doesnt really help anybody). Also seen a tv documentary where they said Robert Kiyosaki never had a rich dad and it was all made up.

Colin - I think it would only be a problem if Kiyosaki wrote false things about someone to the extent that it would be considered libelous. Most likely his dad didn't care if readers were under the false impression he had money. Whether or not it was made up only questions his integrity and credibility. Whether or not his financial advice works or is dangerous is another matter.

Colin - I'm sure he makes more money than Diamonds, has more spare time, and has residual income from his royalties rolling in for the rest of his life. Why go backwards and become an Amway cult leader? Too much hard work convincing your downline not to quit!

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.

About Me

I'm married to a former Ambot - one of those annoying commissioned Amway salespeople. Fortunately he saw the light of the horrible cult he was part of and ended his association. I'm here to report on the crap he took and I had to put up with. Hoping I might be able to help some poor souls who find themselves in the same situation I was - married to an ambot.
